If required, you may have to utilize UL listed equipment for this task and submit a building ® plan to your municipality. You should speak to your Precision Extraction Solutions technical representative to ensure that your cooling and heating options are adequate for seamless operation of the X10 system in a passive configuration.

Page 8: Pressure Testing
CHAPTER 3 Pressure Testing Pressure Testing/Preparing the Equipment to Operate Your X10 unit comes factory tested and inspected for sustained pressure holding capabilities. However, shipping and moving of the unit may create pressure leaks, as well drastic change in temperature. It is the operator's responsibility to check for pressure for leaks prior to operation. To check the system for leaks, please attach all the components and hose assemblies per the drawing in this manual. If pressure testing the entire system new, the solvent vessel is to be included. If testing the system after the solvent tank has been filled, please keep all valves on the solvent vessel CLOSED. All other valves should remain OPEN. Attach a 3/8" compression hose to the collection vessel, and with all the valves open on the system, bring the system pressure to 150PSI using compressed air via an air compressor. Ensure the vent down nipples on the gauge are OPENED prior to performing a pressure test.

Page 10: Charging/Filling The Solvent Vessel
Charging/Filling the Solvent Tank Attach your solvent source to the X10 solvent tank via a 1/4" compression line. Ensure that you have the proper fittings in order to properly and safely attach your source vessel to your X10 solvent vessel. These fittings will vary by supplier, please talk to your hydrocarbon solvent supplier to procure the proper fittings. To charge your X10 solvent vessel, begin by vacuuming the tank down to -30in/hg or until the vacuum pump bottoms out. Make sure to also put the line from for X10 solvent vessel to the solvent source tank under a vacuum also. Vacuum reading may be slightly different depending on atmospheric conditions. Once the tank has been vacuumed down, it will need to be cooled. If using a Precision Julabo, turn on the chiller and allow the tank to cool. Depending on your atmospheric conditions,...

Page 14 NOTE FOR ACTIVE RECOVERY For active recovery, using either a Precision GC 5000 or Haskel brand recovery pump, the following procedure must be followed. The operator of such equipment must read and be familiar with the specific operational manual of the recovery equipment prior to use (e.g., pump/compressor operational manuals).

OPEN THE NECESSARY VALVES TO MOVE YOUR SOLVENT TO THE TARGETED VESSEL IN THE PROCESS. WHEN THE SOLVENT HAS FULLY REACHED YOUR TARGETED VESSEL, YOU WILL NEED TO VENT OFF THE EXCESS NITROGEN. 15 | P a g e Model X10 Operational Manual – For Hazardous Environments Precision® Extraction Solutions ©2018 PX2 Holdings, LLC.

Page 22 All sliding surfaces shall have a light coating of lubricant, this to reduce the friction between the two surfaces, prevent galling or seizure and increase clamping efficiency. The clamp can only fit correctly (segments forming a circular geometry) in one position and this ideally occurs in the fully tightened state. From the initial untightened assembly, the clamp compresses the two ferrules by about 0.9 to 1.3 mm at the fully tightened position. 22 | P a g e Model X10 Operational Manual – For Hazardous Environments Precision® Extraction Solutions ©2018 PX2 Holdings, LLC.

Page 24 Gasket Seal: The calculations for clamp stresses were based on using a flat-face self-energizing elastomer seal with hardness in the range 70 to 75 Shore A. Care must be taken to ensure that gasket seals of different composition or hardness are not used without due consideration of the effects on the working stresses of the clamp. Gasket Fit: Because of the extreme forces generated by this clamp, when used with a standard elastomer gasket there is excessive compression of the gasket (the gasket width can be reduced to a little as 0.7 mm, this against a normal typical compressed width of 1.5/1.6 mm). 24 | P a g e Model X10 Operational Manual – For Hazardous Environments Precision® Extraction Solutions ©2018 PX2 Holdings, LLC.
